Making sure you are who you say you are in any check is vitally important. Makesure certifies that you are in fact the person being checked to protect you from identity theft. Identity theft is a major concern as it generates a substantial profit for the offenders. As well, it accounts for considerable financial loss for our government, as well as for many private citizens and businesses. Makesure wants to ensure your identity is not being misused.
The Australian Government governs the identity principles and more information can be found at Home Affairs.
You may be required to provide ID for particular checks. The combination may include your full name and date of birth, and at least one ID must include a photo. The categories are broken up into Commencement, Primary and Secondary documents. Depending on the check various combinations of these could be required. A Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check requires One Commencement, One Primary and Two Secondary.
